    Emperor 400 needeed for sump?

    The sump is for filtration. So to continue to use the Emp would be a duplication of effort. Keep the Emp running until you get whatever you decide on for bio filter in the sump established.

    Seaclone and bubbles

    Your overflow shouldn't be getting any direct water. It should only be getting water from the bubbles. If it gets water directly from the pump, then you have something wrong. What I meant was...if you open the air valve all the way open...then the pump will be sucking too much air. The pump will...

    How much weight can it hold..

    My 45 was sitting on a particle board stand which came with it...with the 5.5 gallong in the bottom for the live brine shrimp for the seahorses...the humidity caused it to start warping or whatever particle board does...so I built a new one. Was planning on it anyways...just never liked the idea...

    does anyone know where to buy the U shaped tubes for the overflow?

    Any of the online marine supply stores that are big usually have them.

    Seaclone and bubbles

    Opened up all the way Entice would slow the water volume down due to the pump having to suck air as well as pump water. By no means should it fill up with water and no air. I do not know if it is unique to the Seaclone's (don't believe so), but they do take a few days to set in (cycle). I have...

    paranoia is setting in

    This is supposed to be a hobby. As with hobby's, one is supposed to get enjoyment out of them...not worry themselves to death... One thing is for certain...if your tank's seals are not good...the tank will leak. If the tank leaks...drain it and start over.... If the tank doesn't leak...you're...

    Where to get a Tank?

    Ordering tanks online is expensive due to the common carrier shipping. Plus, working for a common carrier...shipping anything glass isn't a good idea. Both of my tanks I purchased from Exotic Super Pet in East Hartford. Both were on sale and drastically reduced, one is a Perfecto and the other...

    What's a good overflow.

    My SOS is in a 45 tall. I have the return pump going through a ball valve, then an anti-siphon valve to the spray bar. The SOS end, is dropping to a ball valve then to the sump. I put the ball valves on as precautions and to conduct maintenance. The siphon valve was a 21.00 waste of money...

    Azeritis... There is no underline cause or "real issues" for terrorism of any flavor...nor by any nationality. Terrorism is an aggressive act against others with the intent to cause fear, death and damage. With that in mind...there is only one way to deal with terrorism and the USA is doing it...

    I've become desperate for answers...

    Lets keep this in perspective... No life was entrusted to you...you chose a hobby...you purchase animals like they are candy or a gallon of milk. Most of these animals formally lived in the wild as nature inteded. Then they were ruthlessly ripped from their environment and shot to a store and we...

    Cloudy water

    Protein skimmers remove dissolved organics within your water. Carbon is an additive to a filter. Usually comes in crushed variety. Your aqua-clear 300 (if purchased new) should have had one bag of carbon in it. The carbon will remove most chemical contaminates from your water. I have both the...
